I'm wondering if the reason the MilCat is such a fine model is because-- compared to the dog and the big cats-- it is limited to a fairly basic shape. I could be wrong, I don't know very much about models. I'm also one of those who would greatly prefer a Mil Tiger, a Mil Panther, a Mil Puma Jaguar combo. Instead we get a one size fits none Mil Big Cat.-- Lions are not much my thing anyway and now they all look like awkward clumsy lions. There was also a big mistake in what is important about Big Cats. The immense nobility of the Lion, tiger, panther HEAD is crucial. This was completely lost except in maybe the Puma. What makes the set sad, to me, is the feeling that it was released as something that was "good enough." Not the best, not great, not wonderful-- just sorta good enough to put out. I hope I'm wrong. But, to me, the set is shrieking "almost, kinda, sorta, this stuff is tough to do, you know." We waited for the cat cause that was hard to do and we were very pleased. We'd wait again. Maybe. Emily
